Telescope Resolving Power and Dawes Limit Calculator
Telescope Resolving Power and Dawes Limit: a planned Super Calculator tool. Stub page: the tool, its formula and a worked example are not published yet.
Telescope Resolving Power and Dawes Limit Calculator is a planned calculator in the science section of Super Calculator, covering telescopes.
What this calculator will compute
Inputs: aperture and wavelength.
Formula, recorded as scope and not yet verified against a primary source: Dawes limit in arcseconds = 116 divided by aperture in mm, Rayleigh 1.22 lambda over D.
Written for double star observers.
